AttrACTION Reloaded!
At the EuroDisney SCA shareholder’s General Assembly on Friday a
video preview of Space Mountain Mission 2 was shown for the very
first time! The preview is entirely computer generated and
begins by flying through vast canyons on a planet similar to Mars,
interspersed with short clips focusing in on the cannon. The
text throughout the first section reads: “Once in a generation …
An adventure calls … And for those who answer … This world
will never be enough”. Next we are shot through the
Columbiad cannon itself (on the side of a REAL (albeit CGI)
mountain, no less!) and taken through a quick preview of the ride
itself. We fly past asteroids and a meteor before meeting the
incredible SuperNova which explodes before our eyes, bringing the
Space Mountain Mission 2 logo with it, which flies past us.
The final scenes show us the “AttrACTION reloaded” slogan and date
“04.2005”, along with a cool Disneyland Resort Paris logo and
finally the website address. We won’t post the link to
download the video here to preserve copyrights and incase the file
goes offline, but surf to any good forum and you’ll find it right
away!

Guiding the way for the next mission…
A new lighting effect has just been installed on top of Space
Mountain. Now, a strong yellow light shines up into the sky
under the “launch track” which juts out of the top of the roof.
The light must be guiding the way for the Exploranauts as they
wind down the rockets they send out on their original mission and
get ready to plan to course for Mission 2!

More
Mission 2 Secrets Revealed!
Thanks to a new writer on

JimHillMedia.com, there’s a few more “facts” now available for
Space Mountain: Mission 2. The article mentions that not
only will the Star Way be enclosed and have factual boards on the
walls related to the stars and space, but there will be a replica
Space Station in the station! But not just any space station
– a Victorian space station! The article also goes
through the different sections which might be present in the ride
such as “Chasing the Comet”, “The gauntlet” and more. Read
the full article

Base
Colour Chosen
Thanks once again to Joel’s Photo Hunt, the latest news from
Mission 2 is here! The new base colours for the Space
Mountain show-building were chosen this week, and they are only
very slightly different to their predecessor. See the photos
for more.

Thanks to

J�o�el for the news and photos.

Patchwork Pick n Mix
Joel’s latest Photo Hunt report brings us lots of images of the
colours currently being tested

for
the concrete lower section of the Space Mountain show-building.
The colours range from grey to lilac, from sand to brown and
present a very large choice for an important part of the building.
Your wouldn’t believe it, but from this large selection of colours
they have to

choose
just one to paint the base with and there’s only very very minor
differences between some! The exact colour to be used should
be chosen soon, and we see the full results not long after.

Thanks to

J�o�el for the news and photos.

Even more new paint…
Current rumours are suggesting that a new phase of exterior
refurbishment will begin soon on the rocks which surround the
Space Mountain show-building. These jut up out of ground at
various points to help the huge structure fit into the surrounding
area better and are currently a grey colour. When repainted,
they will most likely be the same shade of grey or one of three
shades of brown.

Thanks to Steven from

DLP Reisgids for the news.

A
Supernova of Graphics!
A huge amount of new Space Mountain: Mission 2 information and
graphics were released today on the Disneyland Resort Paris travel
agent’s website Extraordinet. These include different logo
versions, graphics and icons, backgrounds and creative text (which
can be found in the
Press
Releases section. It looks like the lid is finally
starting to be lifted on the mysteries of Mission 2!

Second Mission 2 Logo Revealed
Another new logo has been released today, and it appears to be a
slightly different variation on the logo revealed a couple of days
ago. This logo also features a large planet at the top
(Earth?), aswell as showing the logo almost like a compass. Behind
the logo text you can see an exploding supernova, which seems to
confirm the supernova story element of the ride.

Space Mountain: Mission 2 Logo Revealed!
Finally! The Space Mountain: Mission 2 logo is here! It’s
out with the old Jules Verne style and in with a visually pleasing
far more modern effort which is sure to go down a treat in
marketing the ride. It’s also interesting to see that the
ride is being named “Mission 2” and not “Mission II” as was
originally thought.

Back to Mission Log main.
